< Zechariah 1 >

1 In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Osmoga mjeseca druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
2 The Lord has been very angry with your fathers:
Gospod se vrlo razgnjevi na oce vaše.
3 And you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord of armies: Come back to me, says the Lord of armies, and I will come back to you.
Zato im reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: vratite se k meni, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i ja æu se vratiti k vama, veli Gospod nad vojskama.
4 Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.
Ne budite kao oci vaši, kojima vikahu preðašnji proroci govoreæi: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: vratite se sa zlijeh putova svojih i od zlijeh djela svojih; ali ne poslušaše niti paziše na me, govori Gospod.
5 Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they go on living for ever?
Oci vaši gdje su? i ti proroci žive li dovijeka?
6 But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.
Ali rijeèi moje i uredbe moje koje zapovijedah slugama svojim prorocima ne stigoše li oce vaše? te se oni obratiše i rekoše: kako Gospod nad vojskama bješe namislio uèiniti nam prema putovima našim i po djelima našim, tako nam uèini.
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
Dvadeset èetvrtoga dana jedanaestoga mjeseca, a to je mjesec Savat, druge godine Darijeve, doðe rijeè Gospodnja proroku Zahariji sinu Varahije sina Idova govoreæi:
8 I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.
Vidjeh noæu, a to èovjek jahaše na konju riðu, i stajaše meðu mirtama koje bijahu u dolu, a za njim bijahu konji riði, šareni i bijeli.
9 Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.
I rekoh: što je ovo, gospodaru moj? A anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom reèe mi: ja æu ti pokazati što je ovo.
10 And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.
Tada èovjek koji stajaše meðu mirtama progovori i reèe: ovo su koje posla Gospod da oblaze zemlju.
11 And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.
I oni progovoriše anðelu Gospodnjemu koji stajaše meðu mirtama, i rekoše: mi obidosmo zemlju, i gle, sva zemlja poèiva i mirna je.
12 Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?
Tada anðeo Gospodnji odgovori i reèe: Gospode nad vojskama, kad æeš se veæ smilovati Jerusalimu i gradovima Judinijem, na koje se gnjeviš veæ sedamdeset godina?
13 And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.
A Gospod odgovori anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom, dobrijem rijeèima, milijem rijeèima.
14 And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.
I reèe mi anðeo koji govoraše sa mnom: vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: revnujem za Jerusalim i za Sion veoma.
15 And I am very angry with the nations who are living untroubled: for when I was only a little angry, they made the evil worse.
I gnjevim se silno na narode bezbrižne, jer se malo razgnjevih a oni pomogoše na zlo.
16 So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.
Zato ovako veli Gospod: obratih se k Jerusalimu milošæu, dom æe se moj opet sazidati u njemu, govori Gospod nad vojskama, i uže æe se zategnuti preko Jerusalima.
17 And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.
Još vièi i reci: ovako veli Gospod nad vojskama: opet æe gradovi moji obilovati dobrom, i Gospod æe opet utješiti Sion i opet æe izabrati Jerusalim.
18 And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.
Tada podigoh oèi svoje i vidjeh, i gle, èetiri roga.
19 And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.
I rekoh anðelu koji govoraše sa mnom: što je to? A on mi reèe: to su rogovi koji razmetnuše Judu, Izrailja i Jerusalim.
20 And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.
Potom pokaza mi Gospod èetiri kovaèa.
21 Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.
I rekoh: šta su ti došli da rade? A on odgovori i reèe: ono su rogovi koji razmetnuše Judu da niko ne podiže glave; a ovi doðoše da ih uplaše, da odbiju rogove narodima, koji podigoše rog na zemlju Judinu da je razmetnu.
